Top-5 Arm Chair GM
I was pretty high on this guy when he was a free agent a couple years back, and I was pissed when Kansas City signed him to a very team-friendly deal.
He's blossomed into one of the better corners in the NFL over the last 2-3 seasons (not a Revis/Sherman level, but it'd be easy to make a case that he's a "top-ten" CB right now), and his 'plus' size at the position (6'3", 220 lbs) would make him a valuable asset in today's game.
He's set to be a free agent after the season, and with his recent 3 game suspension for a DUI his price tag in the free agent market probably won't be as high as it should. With Mathis getting way up there in years, I think Smith merits some pretty strong consideration as a potential free agent target, or even a possible trade candidate if the Chiefs don't think they will re-sign him and want to get some value before he leaves as an unrestricted free agent. That being said, though, the franchise tag would be a strong possibility for them, imo.
What do y'all think?
